Penny Stock Scammer Fined
Robert Brennan was the head of penny stock brokerage firm First Jersey Securities, which specialized in preying on ignorant investors and manipulating illiquid penny stock prices via pump-and-dump schemes. First Jersey television commercials featured Brennan standing next to a company helicopter and inviting unsuspecting investors to join in the fun.
Instead, the SEC found that Brennan and First Jersey had swindled investors out of more than $27 million and had manipulated the stock prices of at least six penny stocks.
First Jersey declared bankruptcy in 1987, and Brennan was ordered to pay more than $70 million in fines. In 2001, Brennan was convicted for money laundering and sentenced to more than nine years in prison. Brennan was released from prison in 2011.
